Taking Antibiotics While Pregnant No drug, prescription, or over-the-counter, traditional or herbal, is 100% safe for 100% of the people 100% of the time. When you're pregna…nt, every time you take a drug there is the health and well-being of two individuals, one who is small and vulnerable, to consider. While a few drugs have shown to be very harmful to a developing fetus, many drugs have been used safely, and there are situations in which medication is absolutely essential to life or health. The general rule should be: take medication only on the advice of a practitioner who knows you are pregnant, and only when it is absolutely necessary. .
Here are answers and opinions from FAQ Farmers: .
It is recommended not to take any over-the-counter medication, however in certain situations, such as bladder infections it may be needed. Consulting a professional doctor is always the best idea. .
There are many antibiotics safe to take while pregnant, be sure to inform your doc that you are pregnant if you're seeing someone other than your OB for an illness (for instance, I saw my regular family practice doc sometimes too). An infection may pose more of a threat to the baby than taking antibiotics- for instance, an untreated bladder infection may lead to premature labor or kidney failure. .
Your doctor should give you a list of medications that are safe for you to take while you are pregnant but generally what you take will in effect go to your baby as well so I would not recommend taking medications unless you positively have to and are directed by your doctor. The more chicken and other birds, and meats (unless organically grown) you eat the more likely your body will develop a tolerance to some antibiotics. This is in part because of the high dosages of antibiotics given to animals to prevent diseases where they are sometimes raised. So it is a good idea to refrain from a lot of meat and meat related products. This will allow the antibiotics that you may have to take be able to do its job more effectively. (MORE)

This isn't an easy question to answer. I do know that there are pregnant women who attend the local methadone clinic, however, it can and does cause addiction in the newborn. …It all depends if the benefits outweigh the risks. It is important to discuss this with a doctor. I agree that there are pregnant women who attend a methadone clinic and are able to have a healthy baby. I myself know several of them. However, their baby stays in the hospital while they wean it off of the methadone (again, this applies to the women I know that were pregnant on the clinic... not all women who have a baby while on methadone will have to leave their baby at the hospital for weeks at a time for the baby to be withdrawn safely under medical supervision). So, therefore, I would advise anyone who is pregnant to speak to their personal doctor about the risks and benefits of taking methadone while pregnant. I do, however, think that it is better for a pregnant woman to be on methadone instead of a cocktail of drugs that could really endanger (or worse) the unborn child. (MORE)

You should only take aspirin under the doctor's advice. Aspirin is an anti coagulant thus it is dangero…us when you are pregnant. If you have Hugh's syndrome or forms of Lupus doctors may prescribe it for you until the 35th week. If you have a chronic condition with the coagulation of the blood, you might even be prescribed heparin. However, you should always seek doctor's advice before taking any type of medication during and not during pregnancy. Stay away from aspirin. When baby comes, keep baby away from aspirin because of Rye's Syndrome. The best thing to do is to always ask a doctor. (MORE)
